Usyk Has No Place in MMA: Emelianenko’s Coach

Fedor Emelianenko’s coach, Alexander Michkov, shared his thoughts exclusively with Telecomasia.net about the possible MMA debut of heavyweight undisputed world champion Oleksandr Usyk.

Considering Usyk’s age, I think he has no place in MMA. If his opponent is a boxer, then obviously Oleksandr has a better chance to win. But if it’s even a kickboxer, he’s gonna have troubles. It would be impressive if Usyk could last a minute against a basic wrestler.

Previously, Usyk announced on his social media that he intends to transition into mixed martial arts after his boxing career. He plans his debut fight against blogger Jake Paul.
